"Pipe Stem" Roads
The question is, should pipe stems be removed?
In my area, residential neighborhoods are fond of creating "pipe stem" roads. These are technically not public roads, they are an extension off a public road where 1 or more houses share a private drive off of which their own driveways connect. Officially the road is not named, the addresses are all related to the road that the pipe stem connects to. Its a private drive (meaning that any maintenance of this road including repaving is jointly shared by those served by the pipe stem). In my area, some of these can be quite long, this one is a bit above the average length but many will be longer.
Here is an example of one:

You can see that the road ends in a cul de sac and that a 'road' then continues on which serves several houses. This extension is a 'pipe stem'.
Thanks!
